He’s saying that there was a Rifter which had optional rules for air combat (Rifter 33) and was wondering if there was one with equivalent optional rules for armored vehicular combat and also if there are tables to assist in the construction of those types of vehicles. There are optional vehicular combat rules you can find in HU under the Mechanical Genius or in AtB (RoadHogs, IIRC) but nothing really for going tank to tank and I’ve never seen any construction tables for them either.

To my knowledge rifts focuses on air detection radar by default. Only a few attack air craft are stated to have ground targeting radar.

I do not know of any Official rules for making specific types of vehicles. I use house rules for that, started by adapting the rules in N&SS and then added wider variety of vehicles. (maybe one of these days I will stop being lazy and post them some where.)

Here is a link to the old index...unfortunately it only goes to issue 44.

I do remember seeing it. I think the article you're talking about was called Hog Wild or something like that.

Rifter #5 also has Air-Air Combat (multi-arc, Rifter#5 also has one of the few RT Rifters)

Vehicle Combat Rules are absent in Rifts, but the rules are found in HU, 1E RT, Macross 2, N&SS, Road Hogs, such that they are.

Vehicle creation rules have already been answered in your previous thread on the topic. The same one s that work for aircraft can also work for ground vehicles. You could also up-armor them to for greater protection by the rules.
